JAMMU, Oct 18: Chairman of the Mini Bus Workers Union and District Congress Committee Jammu (U) president, Anil Chopra has said that Government of India must keep check on the increase in the price of petrol and diesel as the transporters are badly affected with the continuous instability.
Addressing members of Mini Bus Workers Union here today, Chopra discussed the burning issues of the operators and transporters. He expressed serious concern over the instability in the prices of diesel and petrol and criticized the Central Government and the Oil Companies for this instability. He said when the prices of crude oil in the world market is low then why there is un-proportional hike in the prices of petroleum products.
Chopra urged upon the Govt to keep check on the prices of petroleum products otherwise transporters will be compelled to hike the fare and ultimately general public will suffer.
